The Contemporary Music Centre will be wired for sound in an interactive installation for the Temple Bar Open Day on 19 June.

The installation, by composer Jonathan Nangle, focuses on the aural aspects of movement which often go ignored unless our attention is drawn to them.

The staircase of the Centre’s building on Fishamble Street will be wired with tiny piezo transducers so that visitors, on walking upstairs to the library, will experience a spectrum of exciting electro-acoustic effects in a work of interactive sound art. A range of other electronic compositions may be heard in the library.

Jonathan Nangle has a degree in Music and Philosophy from Trinity College Dublin, where he has also just completed a Masters in Music and Media Technology in Trinity. He has studied composition with Donnacha Dennehy and Rob Canning and electro-acoustic composition with Roger Doyle and Jürgen Simpson. A performance of his piece Momento Mori (submitted as his Master’s thesis) for mezzo-soprano, ensemble, surround sound electronics and video backdrops will be given its premiere at the Music and Media Technology Grad Show on Wednesday 22 June in the Samuel Beckett Theatre, TCD, by members of the Crash Ensemble.

The Contemporary Music Centre will be open to the public from 1.00pm to 5.00 pm on Sunday, 19 June, as part of the Temple Bar Open Day featuring the work of the arts venues and organisations in Dublin’s cultural quarter. Admission free.
